A recent edition of the Wall Street Journal reported interest rate of 6%, 6.35%,, 6.65% and 6.75% for three-year, four-year, five-year and six-year Treasury note. According to the unbiased expectations hypothesis, what are the expected one-year rates for year 4, 5 and 6? If the liquidity premium for are 0.05%, 0.10%, 0.12% and 0.15% respectively for year 3, 4, 5 and 6, what are the expected one-year rates for year 4, 5 and 6?

Any help will be appreciated.

the one year forward rates can be found with the following equation

$(1+r)^t = (1+r)^{(n+t)} / (1+r)^n$

for eg to find the expected forward rate for one year after three years the same will be

(1+r) = 1.0635^4 / 1.06^3

=7.4%
